Adult Tennis

[Anonymous]

Hi! I know there are mostly parents here looking for advice for their kids, but does anyone have an suggestions on where one may be able to find adult tennis clinics or group lessons/hitting opportunities? I'm taking private lessons now, but just want to be able to get in with a group clinic one other time per week and not coming up with a lot that isn't during the day. East Potomac was absolutely perfect for this, but with their closure for renovations and the current political/financial situation, no one seems to know if they will reopen as planned. YMCA in Arlington seemed like a good option, but $65 per clinic seems wildly expensive.

Would appreciate any leads anyone may have!

Should have added that I know Rock Creek is an option, it's just not wildly easy for me to get to coming from Nova. I work downtown DC, but it would be an absolute bear to get to after work. Definitely on the short list, however.

I'm in Alexandria. In the past I did adult group clinics through Advantage Tennis; sending an inquiry to their website led to a follow-up communication about days/times when they had some group options for my level. Pros to You also lists some options at various clubs, but none of the locations were convenient to me.

The only decent option I know is at Ida Lee Municipal Rec Center in Leesburg, VA. They have different levels and clinics and it's not $65.00 per session. Drop in classes for 1.5hrs are $32.00. Their private lessons for an hour is in like $65/75 range. Might be an option if you're willing to drive. We had folks joining us for clinics that lived in Arlington, Fairfax, Fredrick, MD and Alexandria. Maybe try UMD Tennis Center if it's a shorter drive for you? They should have something there.
